Asam Laksa and Chinese Tea


You know how certain food go well together, like nasi lemak with sambal; Like sambal tumis with sayur lemak; like burger and fries; like goreng pisang with teh o panas; like cream crackers dipped in hot milo.

....while some combination are a no-no and even can make you sick. Mum says dont eat watermelon, and drink milk after. I dont get it how some people eat goreng pisang with sambal kicap...eat durian with plain white rice.

Over the weekend Sally cooked for mum both asam rebus and asam pedas tumis for lunch...wakakakaka how about that..

Anyway, lunchtime today, me and some office mates went to a restaurant. I ordered asam laksa and chinese tea (cold). I dont mind eating laksa, but the fishy aftertaste i wouldnt like, so i thot the bitterness of chinese tea will wash it down well. At the end of the meal, i was getting chills, then i was sweating, then my stomach was churning, then my face felt like it was swelling up (tho it wasnt)...i guess asam laksa and chinese tea is a no-no (at least for me!!).

nope. asam laksa and chinese tea (cold especially) is a no-go for me too. stick to mamak's and teh tarik lah!
